Black Chalk by Christopher J. Yates


TITLE:  Black Chalk
AUTHOR:  Yates, Christopher J.
GENRE:  Fiction
DATES READ:  9/15/2015 - 10/4/2015
MY RATING:  4/5

I read a review on NPR and it said that this book was suspenseful and wonderful, and that it had a fantastic twist at the end!
---
And therein lies the rub.  I spent the entire time reading this book searching for that twist.  And all of the crazy schemes I came up with were far more interesting than the actual twist.

This story involved a group of students who start a game at school.  While it starts out innocently, it escalates, until none of them can go back.

Subsequently, the ending was okay.  In hindsight, I wish I hadn't read that review.  The characters were deep and the plot masterful.  I enjoyed the turns and the suspense as well as the college setting.  Truly lovely.  

Will read and write soon!
